Exclusive: The Ten Most Dangerous Organizations in America (Part Three of Three)

(Part Three of Three)

With the help of the Internet, wealthy donors, and willfully ignorant newspapers and television networks, dangerous “hate” organizations are growing powerful in the world of politics. They aim to distort facts to push their own ideological agenda – usually at the expense of ethics, integrity, and morals. Unfortunately, these groups are propagandizing millions of Americans because biased newspapers, magazines, and cable news networks are knowingly treating the information these organizations spoon feed them as fact.

Hatred knows no ideology, and there are groups like this on both sides of the political spectrum. They may not share the same dogma, but what they do have in common is their unwillingness to bend in their strictly biased view of the world.

Based on their effectiveness of disseminating propaganda, here are the ten most dangerous organizations in America:

10 ) Think Progress

9 ) Muslim Student Association

8 ) CodePINK

7 ) American Civil Liberties Union, National

6 ) Family Research Council

5 ) Center for American Progress

4 ) League of the South

3 ) MoveOn.org

2 ) Universities and Colleges

1 ) Media Matters for America

3. Supplanting the GOP
think tanks? It strikes me that if this is the upshot of these various groups having a real effect on what people learn and think then a significant battle has been won we had not been particularly noticing.
In silence the GOP think tanks have been nauseatingly, somberly quoted and sourced. Although this is the heavy side of the Noise Machine our assault upon the still RW dominated media is taking a toll. The think tanks are discredited and drowned out. The raising of passion and volume has turned the pious blowhards into lather lipped fascists, looking for anyone weak enough to still bully around(usually the DC Dems).

The ACLU is no longer quaintly isolated and irrelevant but part of an army and in lashing out the RW shows their hatred is only bounded by fear. Fear of all truth and all opposition and all sources of thought and honest conviction based on truth and the highest ideals of civilization.

7. One of these things is not like the others....
Why in the world did they put the Family Research Council on the list? Seems like they would agree with the FRC on almost everything.

9. Wow, this is phenomenally dumb.
Yeah, because it's ALWAYS dangerous to call the government and the media for their ultra-right-wing, corporation-first leanings. War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength. Now manufacture me a cheeseburger, Citizen 1228993.

12. Your citizen # has already been handed to you...
via SS #

Now you would have to google to read the REAL laws about ss#'s and their legal use. ANY company is NOT allowed to deny you ANY service BY LAW if you refuse to give your social out. You only need to give it to your employer. THATS IT!


Back in OZ we have "Tax Numbers" and it is absolutly illegal for ANYONE besides the employer to have it, even then you could refuse, but then you are in the highest tax bracket of 42%.

It's strictly enforced.

Cheers
Sandy

10. They must really hate Media Matters.
I guess any organization that keeps track of their exact words is "dangerous". They depend on the memory hole.

14. Media Matters is very dangerous
They actually hold Republicans to their words. It's kind of a radical concept for many on the right.

15. The right-wing haters are feeling REALLY threatened by MM.
Enemy #1. Some have even started referring to it with names like "Media Myrmidons"...which is about as stupidly ironic as one could imagine.

17. Stephen Colbert explains what's wrong with Media Matters
the Constitution gives us the right to speak, but it doesn't give everyone the right to listen. And that's tonight's word.
